Financial Review
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | Income for the year was £1,597 (2022-23: £701) and after meeting running costs there was a surplus for the year of £499 (2022-23: £210). The trustees maintain a policy of holding unrestricted reserves in the general funds to ensure that sufficient resources are available to meet unexpected operational costs and regulatory requirements. As at 31 August 2024, this equated to £17,322 (2022-23: £16,823) out of total funds of £18,512 (2022-23: £18,013). The trustees are holding the remaining reserves with a view to funding any further initiatives to extend the reach of Okido Yoga in the UK. The trustees plan to continue to deliver Okido Yoga education through in-depth holistic workshops, by translating works of Masahiro Oki and making them accessible to a broader audience, and by providing ongoing support to Okido Yoga teachers. |

Notes

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and the Charities Act 2011.

2. Accounting policies
2.1 INCOME
Recognition of income
Income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. Income relating to future periods is deferred.
Offsetting
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
Donated goods
Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.
Volunteer help
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report.
Income from interest
This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.
2.2 EXPENDITURE
Expenditure recognition
Expenditure is recognised when a liability is incurred. Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.
